Mark Halperin is a veerry very slippery operator. His book acknowledges the heavy lefty bias in the media and begs for more credibilty if media wants to flourish. Very freshing and disarming. Very smart and well spoken.

On the other hand, he's probably very left-leaning (based on his history) and is extremely influential throughout all ABC News "platforms", which don't seem to share the thought that their bias is showing.

Yeah I get your drift. Halpern realizes he will probably get more credibility by acknowledging that the left runs most of the media than denying it. But don't look for any changes any time soon.

Heard Halperin on Huge Huge-it earlier this week. ("Huge Huge" meaning Hugh Hewitt.) Huge Huge is all Hallal-aspirin (Halperin) would like to really be. Huge Huge is a genuinie correspondent of the day's events. But Halperin has little respect for the opinion, the well-formed opinions of others. That's why Halperin insists that no news correspondent should vote in the elections the correspondent covers. To do so would be to be not be objective.

Hallal-aspirn deludes himself as to "objectivity". The pursuit of the idol of "no opinion" on great matters induces abjectivity in those who so pursue such hollow grails. Abject despair of ever rising above victim-hood, that is.

The Old Media is exmeplified by jakes like Mark Halperin, who find their most willing audience and echo-chamberosity in those whose life's wisdom is that the best we all and ever can be is a victim of life.
